VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

great starter board, served me well for months until I cracked it doing something dumb and decided to get a new one. survived the crash and still works though, would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into longboarding

it arrived on time, my husband loves it!!! it’s safe to ride and cool design. so i presume it’s a great skateboard (i’m not a skater myself hahaha)

Day one review: Arrived super fast in a very oversized box. Board looks and rides amazing. The bearings and wheels are excellent which is what I was worried about most. I did not feel any resistance or need to change them out. They didn’t even need lube to get that gentle ride. Board has just the right amount of flex, I am 5’11” 190 pounds easy and it supports me up and down the curbs. The length is nice and long but still comfortable to ride. The drop through trucks are a little bit to get used to under your foot when using the tail but not anything that can’t be overcome. Graphics on the board are superb and I was very impressed with the detail. Better than the picture could show hands down. I went with the solar system option. If you are thinking about it then this is the board for you. Don’t hesitate and get this, you will definetly be satisfied.

DISCLAIMER: This was my first time getting a longboard, so I didnt know if certain specs that I found about this particular longboard were the same or at least similar to other longboards. Now to the review. Right off the bat, shipping was great. They got the longboard to me in a very short time. It was properly and carefully packaged and there was lots of padding inside to keep the board safe. Once I took the board out, I must say I was pretty impressed. I almost expected a flimsy, cheap board, to match the extremely low cost. However, the board felt pretty good in my hands. It wasnt too heavy or too light. It felt like it could last a long time with careful use. One thing I also noticed is that the wheels were a little harder than other longboard wheels that Ive seen and felt. (This may be an issue for the more hardcore longboard riders that do crazy high-speed slides and stuff) Once I started riding the board it felt very smooth and I fell in love with it immediately. The only cons (kind of) that I found are the boards wheels being a little harder than most longboards and also the fact that the board felt a little bouncy. Other than that, I am completely satisfied with the board. If youre like me, and youre only getting a longboard to have fun cruising at the park, commute to school/work, and get girls, this is definitely the board for you. If youre one of those people that likes to go down steep hills at 70 mph, doing slides and other crazy stuff, then the few cons I mentioned above may have a detrimental effect to your riding experience. I gave 5/5 stars because this board is perfect for what I want to do on a board.

This board is amazing, very durable and incredible quality for what you paid, very pleased with this purchase.

This longboard works pretty good for people who are just starting out. you get what you pay for, but even then its a bit better than expected. has a bit too much resistance, I typically have to kick harder than my boyfriend who has a more expensive one. bearings are also kinda noisy. its a good choice if you dont wanna make the investment right away

I wouldnt call myself an expert longboard by any means but I know my way around a board. Getting back into the longboard scene was kind of a wrestle for me. After all its been 15 years and Im in my 30s now. Nevertheless I did a few days of research for myself and my girlfriend. After what felt like enough consideration she got a retrospec drop deck, and I got this Volador. I wanted the maneuverability of a from through and it certainly delivered in that aspect. just out of the box I noticed how much give the board had and it made me a little nervous, but I chalked it up two or more flexible durability and assumed I was ready to go. I rode the board moderately heavily around for around three days. after day one I could hear a distinct rattle in one of my rear bearings which was kind of disappointing but I guess you shouldnt have very high expectations for stock bearings. After day 3 Im riding home and I take a look down the board. It was completely warped. (Photos) Now maybe I expected too much of this board for weight limits. Im 62 and hover around 225-230lbs. all the reviews that I read for the board however made me feel like I was good to go, and to be honest, Ive ridden a lot of different boards and Ive never seen one warp like this. So I guess if youre a light to medium weight rider this is a pretty good board. Seems to have good speed and maneuverability about it and obviously wont break the bank, but if your concern is the durability of it under weight, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I would love to give this beautiful board 5 stars but it arrived with damaged grip tape fresh out of the packaging. Small but definitely noticeable and kind of a bummer for my first board. It otherwise rides beautifully and I’m super excited to start my longboarding journey.

lo ve it easy to use

Pretty pleased with this longboard overall. The deck is a little stiff but not bad. The wheels it comes with are decent. I’ve rolled over quite a bit of pebbles and twigs with no really issues. My only complaint is that the bearings did not last long at all. Two of them have already gone bad in just a little over a month so those already need to be replaced. Other than that I’d say it was worth the money.
